ugh........ Monday............ ​

Soooooooooooo how was everyone's weekend? I hope you have a cup of coffee and ready to sit if you want read about weekend that needed a day between Saturday and Sunday.

Friday! i did bills. and wasn't in a good mood. I needed to find the error on my excel sheet of the banking account i keep. Then my phone rang.. I look at it and to my EXCITEMENT it was RuthIE!!! She wasn't feeling all that... lets just say... Happy??? so we laughed. i kept imagining her in a shopping cart while her DH was running threw the aisles! like this:

THEN i read D~ report this morning with her DD in a shopping cart and almost fell on the floor laughing so hard!!! so i did get into a better mood. i love you guys!!!
On my way home i totally forgot i had a Dog show!!! damn. call Tom on the way ask him to pick up the kids because i have to get Logan groomed for the trial. HOLY MOLEY that dog needed work. as i am cutting nails brushing clipping etc. I go to use the Dremmel to file his nails. the darn thing died on me.. crap.. now he has crappy nails!! My mom was late getting to my house so we can drive the hour or so to the trial. (she was showing her Chinese Crested) Whatever i'm back into my stormy mood. Off we go I am driving since now i have to drive a little faster to get there on time. FOR SOME STUPID REASON we take the route she recommended.. STUPID STUPID as it is now rush hour. i am in TRAFFIC and a lot of it. red lights, trains, morons who cannot drive. Does not make Mo a happy girl. now my stormy mood is turning into a full on hurricane.
there was NO WAY i was going to get there on time for my class. I WILL get my mom there for her class!! Now i am getting in a better silly mood... There is nothing i can do at this point, no other way to get out to Lowell Indiana any faster then if i sprouted wings. stop. Go. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. did i mention i have road rage? Stop. Go. shocking enough there isn't a raging driving smilie dude. well now Mom is laughing AT me until the traffic OPENS up and i am now on my merry way. finally get to the destination go in with all my crap find a spot to sit see the rest of my dog club members there and notice they are JUST setting up for the class i am supposed to be in!!! No wasted entry fee for me! I MADE IT!
Check in work Logan out a bit go into the ring.. For those of you who don't know this is Rally NOT my usual Obedience. this is a sample of the Rally course you do with your dog off leash mine had a lot more spinning turns:

you got all that right??? well we qualified. (need three qualifying scores to obtain the title) we did not place which i am a bit of a snob when it comes to training. this is my 5th dog showing. I WANT scores!! not necessarily beat anyone out but i do want the higher scores. so this is my qualifying Logan:

My Mom also qualified. After i get this title i am done with rally and sticking with Obedience.
I think we got home about 10:30. dead on my tail. watched a bit of TV with Tom then CRASHED to bed.

SATURDAY!!!
Meg had to be at the field at 10ish for pictures at 10:15am. as i am pulling up there was a large vehicle who was trying to get their softball equipment out of their car... There was NOT a car behind me.. i was backing up... BAM! there is a car behind me. they pulled up as i was backing up. a small toyota against my HUGE Chrysler Aspen? guess who DIDN'T have any damage???
well lo and behold the person i hit was the 5th grade volleyball coach at the school she is not a fan of mine. I've never done anything to her she just doesn't like me, to my surprise to see her when i got out. Ummm I laughed.. a lot.
which didn't make her any happier. she at one point actually cocked her hand back like she was going to hit me.. which of course made me laugh even harder. oh PLEASE!!! She was SHAKING LIKE A LEAF like i ran over her child!!! really?!?!? it was a fender bender PARKING!!!
regardless i had my insurance card and Drivers license out she didn't have her current one. had to go home and get it. Told her i will be at pictures then had to be at the grill at 10:30 to work concessions. Chicago cops DO NOT come out for a police report on something like this... She actually called SEVERAL people to get one out. REALLY??? like we couldn't have drove over the the station on Sunday??? whatever. the cops came out they are actually LAUGHING AT HER at this point. they of course know my Bro-In-Law (is a cop too) and several other people i know we chit chat and are laughing having a good time. yeah we did. Guess what??? She was ever more mad...
Whatever... i have my golden police report.
that took out a great amount of time from NOT working the concession i can't stand doing anyhow. At 1pm i was able to leave the concession to watch Meg's game!
Me and peanut
about the 4th inning my phone goes off. It's a mom from the boys team reminding me how i was supposed to be at the Boys field working concession at 2:30. let her know i wouldn't be there until this game was over. Tom had already left to have the boys get ready for their game at 5. yet had to be at the field for warm ups whatever else they do at 4:30.
Game was finally over tie 14-14 We booked it over to the Boys field.
Their field is AWESOME. the Concession stand is FANTASTIC! So is the food... again i hate working concession. Worse??? I DON'T HAVE TO WORK IT!!! Tom is on the board so we do not have to volunteer!!! Not really wanting to advertise this the other Mom kinda was pushing me about it so instead of telling her na na na na i don't have to. i sucked it up and did it.
it's now 5:30 time for the boys game! WHOOP!!! Tom came by to say Hi and said how the one coach is in a really really ugly mood. Tom is staying away from him. asked the wife if everything is ok (they are friends of ours) she said no everyone is fighting.. UGH OH....
as you can guess that put the entire team on edge. we needed this win to be in first. During their child batting he struck out. father (coach) gave a dirty look or something transpired. child comes out of the dugout crying i ask Mom is he is ok she said he will be fine. Back into the game he went and did a great job the rest of the game.
Matt is up to bat. strikes out in dig out and...
does he NOT START TO CRY!!! WTH is going on today!!!! are you SERIOUS right now. he got over it pretty quick. we lost 5-4 in the last inning. it's now 7:30. have you been keeping track? that equals 9 1/2 hours on the field
after the game my friend asked if the kids could come by.. YES!!! after showers all the kids are over we are having a GREAT TIME ordered pizza played video games laughing and joking. the Mom calls only says:
please have the kids ready i need to pick up the kids... I am going to chalk this up to being a VERY BAD DAY. exceptionally bad day. well the day ended at about 11:30. i was tired.
Continue to next post for Sunday.... right after my cigarette break.

 

[Chicago Mo]

continuation if i hadn't lost you already with my ramblings. this has just turned into my diary... I PROMISE YOU Disney stuff is coming:

Sunday:
woke up at about 8. the three musketeers are up and excited!!! Today is the day i promised them to go shopping with their communion money i told them they can use 100.00 of it.
yeah well... that didn't work. Matt had his heart set on a new hand held game system. OK. He is a good kid he is responsible more so them most children older then he is.
We left the house about 11:30. went to Orland mall about 30 minutes away. First stop: Best Buy Matt can see the game systems and make a decision we are not buying here. Zack b-lines it to the C3PO Noo that's not it... umm the R2D2??? Noo that isn't it. the 3ds! yeah that's it. (ugh the names) Matt looks around and still has his eye on the PS Vita. it cost 250.00 holy guacamole! that's a lot of money for a hand held!!! Mr Best Buy did try to talk Matt out of the Vita since it isn't a great system for the $$ the number of games is very small too. OK Matt you think about this and we will do the rest of the shopping, go back later with which ever system you would like.. OK while he is holding his head... so funny...
back into the car Matt said how he head is going to explode he doesn't know what to do.. ahhhhhhhhhh to be 8 again...
I am doing something right when the hardest decision in my children's life is What game system he would like to buy with his money!!!
Next stop: Toys R Us.
Meg wants a stuffed animal (shocking) Zack had previously asked for a lego type toy but with a motor. My immediate thought is erector set! walking around the lego's he isn't really interested. Was interested in the erector set some other type of building sets which have motor's batteries whatever thing that is making my head spin! he said nope really wants a 3ds. ok i was shocked!!! soooooo not a gamer if that is what he want's WHO am i to argue. On to the stuffies! easy peasy! picked out a really cute small white soft stuffie. Zack and Matt are playing in the boys section. find them and off threw the aisles we went PLAYING WITH EVERYTHING.. namely me playing with everything. we were having a great time. still nothing hearts are still on those darn game systems!!! LOL guess what section was next? Yes! the game aisle! Matt just stopped and stared. Zack again b-lined over to the 3DSC3POR2D2 thing. Matt is looking at everything the Wii U, a kindle, a tablet new Xbox, etc etc etc. vita. 250.00 vita.. ugh.
Check out with Meg's 10.00 bunny.
Off to the Mall build-a-Bear!!
The ONLY thing meg wanted to buy was a build a bear. Do you guys know the process of this?!?!
getting ahead of myself..
the first store we all see and NEED to stop at is...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

DISNEY!!!!​

Meg runs up to the mouse shaped entrance and hugs it.
of course the CM who work there are awesome and greet us didn't even realize Zack had a mickey tee on! of course they notice my awesome Tattoo!!! after chit chatting they go right towards the new Merchandise for Monsters movie. there is some really FUN stuff! Matt picked up this orange stripped pig/dog looking creature with goat eyes from the movie. i have NO IDEA what it is Yes Matt you may have him... Zack looks at me with hope filled eyes. Yes Zack you may also pick out a toy under 10.00. Matt and zack both pick the pig/goat/dog stuffed animal later we found out it is the university's mascot... we play around for a while CM comes back and asks us if we want to participate in the avengers league something er other hoopla they will be having! Silly question!!! OF COURSE WE DO!!! Bring out Thor!!!!
meandering around to what wandering eyes do we see IS DUFFY!!!!!
OMG Meg took off like a bat out of... YELLING DUFFY!!!! I didn't know Duffy is being sold in stores?!?! she put him down she wanted to do this bear thing.
IT IS TIME TO BECOME AN AVENGER!!
it was really really cute:

Meg wanted NOTHING to do with this boy stuff.

after learning how to become a assistant avenger the boys were given a special avenger card! (meg also received one) checked out and off we were to find the bear store took us a long time because they moved the store!!! thankfully we found someone with the bear box they gave us the new location.
Matt was a little upset as he also wanted a bear but not as much as the game system. under it all he IS a softy!!! Zack was happy with the goat eyed monster thing.
Meg picked out a white kitten did the whole make the heart stuffed it gave it a bath groomed it dressed it named it. No pictures of this process but i do have:



bath:
this was cool...
we were at check out. I had a gift card from our last purchase along with the membership card. the entire thing ended up costing 13.00....
She looks up at me with the the most hopeful look in her eyes. Can i please get Duffy?
OF COURSE! off to Disney Store AGAIN. I never thought Meg would want another Duffy she has the small Christmas one we bought from Disney who goes EVERYWHERE with us. he is the world to Meg. THE WORLD.

She wanted 17' Duffy to dress up. OK! While she is checking out SHE tells the CM this is the Chicago Duffy the Disney Duffy is at home they will be BFF's! silly girl!!! walking out of the store the CM's all come by and say AGAIN?!?! well of COURSE! start talking AGAIN they ended up giving me an application to work there...
yes they did.
Off to Game stop.
Mr gamer bad complexion man is helping us. Matt goes straight to the vita Zack straight to the 938574029348r7t01q9348 DS3d will i ever get that right?
Zack knew what he wanted so we set him up with ease...THANK GOD for geeky gamers... i really mean this. after MUCH deliberation HE was able to talk Matt out of the vita which would have cost him about 350.00 to a PSP i was never happier!!! Meg was able to pick out 2 games for her DS the PSP ended up only being 80.00 I let him pick out more used games he found for about 6.00 each!!! very happy!!!!
WE are FINALLY done. i did not feel like running to the few places i needed to go to. TOO tired from our outing. I had found 87.00 in my junk drawer where my husband throws everything. it was my pay from dog training!!
we went out for dinner then ice cream and back home about 7:45.
played outside practiced batting for a bit then played their new games.
a very happy Matthew:

a very happy Zack:

and a VERY Happy Meg:

Chicago Duffy and Disney Duffy are getting along famously Meg called me this morning to let me know.
Chicago Duffy will be coming with to Disney our next trip..
Ok my fingers hurt from typing
I pray Tonight's game goes better then Saturday!!! Will the saga continue! I HOPE NOT!!!

 

[DMGeurts]

One year from now... I MAY be finished responding to the post about your weekend...

ugh........ Monday............ ​

Not sure it is any more... I will by typing for a while...

[Soooooooooooo how was everyone's weekend? I hope you have a cup of coffee and ready to sit if you want read about weekend that needed a day between Saturday and Sunday.

Finished the coffee long ago... On to H2O now...

[Friday! i did bills. and wasn't in a good mood. I needed to find the error on my excel sheet of the banking account i keep.

Did I mention that I HATE paying bills...

[Then my phone rang.. I look at it and to my EXCITEMENT it was RuthIE!!!

Yay!!! I love talking to Ruthie... Although - most of my end of the conversation is "Huh? Can you repeat that?" But I have to admit - I am getting better...

[She wasn't feeling all that... lets just say... Happy??? so we laughed. i kept imagining her in a shopping cart while her DH was running threw the aisles! like this:

THEN i read D~ report this morning with her DD in a shopping cart and almost fell on the floor laughing so hard!!! so i did get into a better mood. i love you guys!!!

OMG!!! It's SUPER FRED!!!!!!!!!!!!! All he needs now is "bumpers"... Doesn't everyone use bumpers?

OK... I will work on responding more later - must go back to my sewing room now...

D~

 

[KatMark]

I need a nap after reading your two updates.

I LOVE the flying Superman with the shopping cart...that is brilliant.

You sure have your share of drama at the kids' baseball games. Unfortunately, given my advanced years, I still remember this well from when my boys played in Little League.

I'm so glad the kids were all happy with their purchases. I didn't know there was a Disney store in Orland. Our closest one is Woodfield and I hate that mall with a passion.

Heavens to mergatriod!!! I could not believe that happened!!! Find out if today is any better have a game at 530
The kids are besides themselves with joy over the new stuff..
I do love Orland they have everything there!!!

 

[solana131]

Yikes! And I thought my life was hectic

Oh, look...I found a driving smiley guy He isn't in a very bad mood though, maybe he is for after you crashed into the mega witch?? Yep, looks like he is putting it in reverse to run her little Corolla over.

DUFFY! I just love him. When I first saw him, I thought it was just weird that Disney would make up some totally new character when they already have so many wonderful ones. But I really love the story that goes with Duffy and he is just so soft and cuddly.

Guess what... It's almost time for our trip! I started packing tonight. First I got out my little carry on and tried to fit 4 days worth of clothes, shoes and gifts in there. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! So I went downstairs and settled myself in for a fight with Southwest. But the lady I got on the phone was super super nice and really put my mind at ease. The email I had gotten earlier was not very clear and said that they did not have to let me check my luggage through to MSP. That it was up to the check in agent....well super, what am I supposed to do. But this lovely lady, Lillian, said that they had just recently changed their policy to specifically allow this. I think it has to do with them merging with Airtran. This way people who booked one leg with Airtran and one with SW will just get their luggage checked once. So much easier and it makes me super happy! Away I go to pack more

So, how warm is it out there?? This time of year in Maine we have to plan for all temps. It was 33 the other night, but up to almost 80 right now. Maine....a beautiful state where you can get frost bite and heat stroke all in one day

This hotel has a pretty nice pool....you bringing a bathing suit?? I might need a few drinks before I can be talked into mine, but I will bring it just in case.

 

[DMGeurts]

OK... Let's see if I can tackle more of this monsterous post...

On my way home i totally forgot i had a Dog show!!! damn. call Tom on the way ask him to pick up the kids because i have to get Logan groomed for the trial. HOLY MOLEY that dog needed work. as i am cutting nails brushing clipping etc. I go to use the Dremmel to file his nails. the darn thing died on me.. crap.. now he has crappy nails!!

Oh no... I can't imagine trying to use a dremmel on MM... He'd probably pee his fur? Just going after him with the plain ol' nail clippers is like the WWF - and it's a 2 person job.

[My mom was late getting to my house so we can drive the hour or so to the trial. (she was showing her Chinese Crested) Whatever i'm back into my stormy mood. Off we go I am driving since now i have to drive a little faster to get there on time. FOR SOME STUPID REASON we take the route she recommended.. STUPID STUPID as it is now rush hour. i am in TRAFFIC and a lot of it. red lights, trains, morons who cannot drive. Does not make Mo a happy girl. now my stormy mood is turning into a full on hurricane.

Oh no... Thank goodness I am driving when you are in MN, and we only have to go 5 blocks to get to our hotel.

[there was NO WAY i was going to get there on time for my class. I WILL get my mom there for her class!! Now i am getting in a better silly mood... There is nothing i can do at this point, no other way to get out to Lowell Indiana any faster then if i sprouted wings. stop. Go. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. did i mention i have road rage? Stop. Go. shocking enough there isn't a raging driving smilie dude. well now Mom is laughing AT me until the traffic OPENS up and i am now on my merry way. finally get to the destination go in with all my crap find a spot to sit see the rest of my dog club members there and notice they are JUST setting up for the class i am supposed to be in!!! No wasted entry fee for me! I MADE IT!

Yay!!! Glad you made it on time.

[Check in work Logan out a bit go into the ring.. For those of you who don't know this is Rally NOT my usual Obedience. this is a sample of the Rally course you do with your dog off leash mine had a lot more spinning turns:

you got all that right??? well we qualified. (need three qualifying scores to obtain the title) we did not place which i am a bit of a snob when it comes to training. this is my 5th dog showing. I WANT scores!! not necessarily beat anyone out but i do want the higher scores. so this is my qualifying Logan:

My Mom also qualified. After i get this title i am done with rally and sticking with Obedience.

That is awesome! But that map is scary... I don't even know where to begin reading it... Couldn't find the "you are here" arrow.

And Logan is adorable!!! I wonder if he's a Monster like MM? Actually, I bet he's probably very well behaved - huh? <---Jealous.

[I think we got home about 10:30. dead on my tail. watched a bit of TV with Tom then CRASHED to bed.

I would too!

[SATURDAY!!!

You mean your weekend hasn't even started yet?

[Meg had to be at the field at 10ish for pictures at 10:15am. as i am pulling up there was a large vehicle who was trying to get their softball equipment out of their car... There was NOT a car behind me.. i was backing up...

Whatever... i have my golden police report.

ROFL - I can totally picture this... Sorry - but sometimes it pays to drive an American car...

[that took out a great amount of time from NOT working the concession i can't stand doing anyhow. At 1pm i was able to leave the concession to watch Meg's game!

Sometimes it's nice to have a valid reason for not working.

[Me and peanut

Sorry couldn't see it - had to make it bigger so we all could see.

[about the 4th inning my phone goes off. It's a mom from the boys team reminding me how i was supposed to be at the Boys field working concession at 2:30. let her know i wouldn't be there until this game was over. Tom had already left to have the boys get ready for their game at 5. yet had to be at the field for warm ups whatever else they do at 4:30.

she is rushed to the kids side because blood is POURING from the poor child's nose!!! PEOPLE I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED a nose bleed like this poor child. FINALLY after calming him down a bit (this took a while) the bleeding stopped. father looks over gives a nasty look tell the MOM how it's her fault because he was with her all day also at one point said how he needs to stop because the kid needs to get back into the game they need him WHAT?!?! Guess who goes back into a crying fit and blood is back pouring from the child's face... I TELL YOU it took every ounce of me NOT to go after this guy.. EVERY OUNCE OF ME. we were able to calm him down again. Back into the game he went and did a great job the rest of the game.
Matt is up to bat. strikes out in dig out and...
does he NOT START TO CRY!!! WTH is going on today!!!! are you SERIOUS right now. he got over it pretty quick. we lost 5-4 in the last inning. it's now 7:30. have you been keeping track? that equals 9 1/2 hours on the field
after the game my friend asked if the kids could come by.. YES!!! after showers all the kids are over we are having a GREAT TIME ordered pizza played video games laughing and joking. the Mom calls only says:
please have the kids ready i need to pick up the kids... ummm ok. just walk in i will have them ready for you. she came in while one of the kiddies were still putting on their shoes. She had been crying. the arguing continued. She was told she was the reason they lost today...... oh for the love of God. I will tell you all now this surprised me more then anything... these people are NOT like this. I am going to chalk this up to being a VERY BAD DAY. exceptionally bad day. well the day ended at about 11:30. i was tired.
Continue to next post for Sunday.... right after my cigarette break.

This is just awful... I sure hope that little one is OK? And I sure hope your game tonight goes better.

I will be back later to respond to the rest of the book...

Yikes! And I thought my life was hectic

Oh, look...I found a driving smiley guy He isn't in a very bad mood though, maybe he is for after you crashed into the mega witch?? Yep, looks like he is putting it in reverse to run her little Corolla over.

good catch!!!! i was a little happy it was her.. I laughed. Didn't get a ticket which helps.. called the insurance co yesterday i have to fill some paper out i am not filing anything on my car since i DON'T HAVE A LICK OF DAMAGE!!

DUFFY! I just love him. When I first saw him, I thought it was just weird that Disney would make up some totally new character when they already have so many wonderful ones. But I really love the story that goes with Duffy and he is just so soft and cuddly.

i am with you 100% i was NOT in the Duffy thank at all just figure they were following in the build a bear thing and money monger. that last trip i was SO dead against Duffy.
then of course Meg fell in love with the little guy in the previously posted picture. As time passed and still is her favorite stuffy i couldn't say anything.
Your right again the story is just to cute. make sense Duffy travels everywhere with Meg!

Guess what... It's almost time for our trip! I started packing tonight. First I got out my little carry on and tried to fit 4 days worth of clothes, shoes and gifts in there. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! So I went downstairs and settled myself in for a fight with Southwest. But the lady I got on the phone was super super nice and really put my mind at ease. The email I had gotten earlier was not very clear and said that they did not have to let me check my luggage through to MSP. That it was up to the check in agent....well super, what am I supposed to do. But this lovely lady, Lillian, said that they had just recently changed their policy to specifically allow this. I think it has to do with them merging with Airtran. This way people who booked one leg with Airtran and one with SW will just get their luggage checked once. So much easier and it makes me super happy! Away I go to pack more

i am SO happy your feeling better about the flight.. Everything always works out. I am going to start packing today.

So, how warm is it out there?? This time of year in Maine we have to plan for all temps. It was 33 the other night, but up to almost 80 right now. Maine....a beautiful state where you can get frost bite and heat stroke all in one day

yesterday is was in the low 90's! this is still more of a question for D~ it will probably either snow or have 100 temps!!!

This hotel has a pretty nice pool....you bringing a bathing suit?? I might need a few drinks before I can be talked into mine, but I will bring it just in case.

NO WAY!!! i have gained so much weight because of this DARN thyroid!!!
